I don't hate Lach at all. Nor do I care for their dislike/disdain for eachother. Who knows though.. Could have been blown out of proportion of how they got along. I think a lot of it had to do with Cutler coming in as the young gun pro bowl qb who stole the thunder from the face of franchise Urlacher and his D. Remember Cutler kind of kept to himself but understandably tried but couldn't become a big leader in lockerroom with Urlacher being who he is. Now that Urlacher is gone, funny how Cutler has officially become leader of whole team.
I will say this though, I'm dissapointed the way the Bears and Urlacher ended the relationship. I would have loved to see Urlacher another two years, including this coming season. But I will forever blame Lovie Smith for the fast fall of Brian Urlacher on defense. That knee injury royall screwed him up and he never became the same player again. It's bad when you are going to Germany to do new treatment in the spring, that says your knee was really jacked up. But nonetheless, if everyone is healthy the Bears can make the playoffs. IF Mel Tucker doesn't screw this up.
Only reason I'm somewhat confident with the D is new LB and D-Line coach. They have a lot of experience and can do what is needed if Tucker screws the D up.
Still a Cutler fan through and through, glad to see him taking the role of leader of whole team. But I do miss Urlacher. Shit, I miss Kreutz. One Bear who deserved a ring more than any other is Olin.
